Weekend Islamic Schools (WIS)
( A project of ISGH Education Committee )
 
   
 

 

 

 

 


ISGH facilities city-wide conducts weekend Islamic schools, a venture supervised by an Education Committee.

In his 2002 Annual Report to Shura, Education Committee Chairman Tahir Hussain said: "Since it inception last year at the initiative of Br Sayeed Siddiqui, the children education committee has worked to standardize the Weekend Islamic School Education (WISE) curriculum.

After passing through several views and opinions, the committee is able to develop a ‘first phase’ draft, which is a broad concept based curriculum. This draft was recently submitted to the Shura members and to the Weekend Islamic School principals and zonal education secretaries for their input and comments. In a recent meeting, some zonal educationists have provided constructive input, which we are underway to incorporate in the draft after discussion in the next meeting. Once the ‘first phase’ draft is reached to finality, it will be submitted to the ISGH Shura for their approval. In the final phase, the curriculum committee intends to continue working to make expanded version of the curriculum, which will include lesson plans based document.

The curriculum committee hopes that while volunteer teachers change quite frequently, the standardized curriculum will provide continuity and stability to the education process in Weekend Islamic Schools.
